The Mastery of Self: A Toltec Guide to Personal Freedom

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint of laws to break us free from the shackles of ordinary life.

Publisher's Summary

In The Mastery of Love, don Miguel Ruiz illuminates the fear-based beliefs and assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in our relationships. Using insightful stories to bring his message to life, Ruiz shows us how to heal our emotional wounds, recover the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of playfulness that is vital to loving relationships.

In the Toltec tradition, three fundamental masteries guide us to our true nature, which is happiness, freedom, and love.

The first is the Mastery of Awareness. This mastery teaches us to be aware of what we really are. It is the first step toward freedom because we cannot be free if we don't know what we are, or what kind of freedom we are looking for. The Toltecs said, "Let us see ourselves with truth", and they created a mastery just for awareness.

The second is the Mastery of Transformation, which teaches us how to become spiritual warriors and stalk our actions and reactions so we can break free of the knowledge that enslaves us. This mastery shows us how to change the dream of our life by changing our agreements and beliefs.

The Mastery of Love is the result of the first two masteries. From the Toltec perspective, everything is made of Love. Love is Life itself. When we master Love, we align with the Spirit of Life passing through us. We are no longer the body, or the mind, or the soul; we are Love. Then every action we take is an expression of Love, and Love in action can only produce happiness.

When we master Awareness, Transformation, and Love, we reclaim our divinity and become one with God. This is the goal of the Toltec.

This book is an amazing and succinct description of why there is so much pain and difficulty within relationships and, most importantly, it offers tips on how to change our perception of relationships to work towards healthy happy loving ones.

I bought 'The Mastery of Love' after seeing that it was recommended and listened to it in one session-and it's the best confirmation that inspiration exists and that I'm opening up more and more to receive it and be present when it presents itself to me. The book is the perfect summary of my own philosophy that I have put together so far, and sums up why I am currently training to become a 'Rapid Transformational Therapist'; to help people to love themselves and bring more love into this world.

I love how the author brings together the teachings of different Masters, and shows us how they all teach us the same - that when we know the truth and use it correctly, we will be free, free to love ourselves and free to discover ourselves and the God in us.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for his or her purpose in life, and who wants to know how to find that purpose in a practical and "doable" way. I have been on this journey for a while now, and this book has offered me the best summary of mankind's purpose on this planet, concise and very matter-of-factly, but with great love. A must-read!

This book was an easy listen and more important, very interesting. It gave me another way to approach issues, that works.

"An amazing book!"

Only equal in comparison to "The Road Less Traveled". I've heard many good reviews of the author of this book and will now download his other two books from this site!
Even if they are merely standing on the shoulders of giants the message is heard loud and clear. Deep profound wisdom. I wish I had read these books many years ago.
Wisdom is one of the best gifts a person can receive.

"Slow down!"

There is no doubt this is worth listening to, but it goes too fast, not allowing one to really absorb the ideas. Other thought-provoking books are a bit slower-paced like The Power of Now and The Four Agreements. I wish iTunes had a 'slow' option!
